Tessa’s French Peasant Bread

Guess what the weather forecast is for the weekend. If you said SNOW, you’re a winner. Heavy sigh. Last week, we went to Southern Utah for baseball.
Oh.
Sun. I remember you. Warm. Blue skies. Sunscreen. No boots.
Then Monday came, reality along with it. Back to the North.
Snowy day= The perfect time to bake bread.
If you are a lifer on A Bountiful Kitchen, you know I love my friend Tessa. And I love her cooking. Tessa brought this to a dinner party at Christmas and I fell in love. So simple. No kneading. No mixer required. Makes two loaves.Perfect for sharing on a cold winter day.
